DotCoop, sponsor of the .coop domain name, announced the winners of its Cooperative Excellence Awards last week. One of the more interesting winners, at least for me, was s.coop, a web link shortening service.
For those of you who don't know what a 'web link shortening service' is, well, let me show you. If you would like to read a nice article about the full slate of award winners on the excellent Co-operative News website, I could provide you with the following link: http://www.thenews.coop/article/dotcoop-announces-winners-global-awards Quite a mouthful, especially if you wanted to send out the link via a social media outlet (such as Twitter) that has a defined limit on the number of available characters allowed in a message. By using s.coop's service, I can get the link shortened to a more manageable: Much better! To begin using the s.coop service, and to show a little cooperative pride, log onto http://s.coop/
